Distractions

For my money, Donté Stallworth has the best response to the idea that a gay player in the NFL would be a "distraction" for his team. To wit: an NFL season will always have distractions. If you can't handle one that is as clearly anticipated and broadcasted in advance as this one, you're doomed on the field anyway. That being said, Scott Lemiuex's contribution on the history of the "distraction" argument and other like claims which play the "it's not me, it's everyone else" game, is very good too.

That does NOT mean it's afraid to take a stand or be critical....You really can't predict exactly where The Debate Link will come down on all issues. It's not chanting anyone's mantra." --The Moderate Voice,
